Art Day: Sunday, May 24, 2015

You are also invited to join Urban Sketchers Montréal for a day of drawing and painting on the Mountain on Sunday, May 24, anniversary of the creation of Mount Royal Park.

We have a small group of people organizing – we’ll look at them with a eye to variety, documentation of the mountain as a center of culture in Montreal, perhaps naturalist or scientific merit, and artistic achievement. That’s a good question, next time I’ll include some note about criteria in advance. Thanks.
